Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Add the beaten eggs to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, allspice, and salt.

Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, stirring gently after each addition until just combined.

Fold in the chopped raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 18-20 minutes until the cookies are lightly golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
